(regarding Chespin becomeing part Rock) no. that would be a stupid type.

You kidding? I think it's already been mentioned all the reasons that this typing would make Chespin a BAMF.

Im picking froakie no matter what and im just hoping hes a fast as heck ninja frog with some sage references who hits hard and fast and has a nice option to leave, STAB Volt Switch would be awesome

Everything you just said is stuff that I like.
I am also picking Froakie regardless, since it's looking like we may not have the final evos revealed by the release date and I like him the best out of the 3 starters.

I dont think that gamefreak made froakie with franklin (wow those names are actually similar once i type them hmmmm) in mind but i do think they made froakie to end up being a sage like wiseman with the glasses and hand position and the first person we think of is ben.

I think that they'll definitely reveal the final evos. My memory is a bit hazy but they did it with Unova (I'm pretty sure) so why wouldn't they do it in Gen 6? Although we haven't had any news (except for the starter's base types, names of the two legendaries and their height/weight) since the trailer, which is really f*cking me off.

Only time I've ever cried in Pokemon; when Ash took over command of Chimchar in the Tag Team Tournament. That's when I started to love Chimchar & MonfernoLol keep in mind I was 9

They didn't do it with Unova. Some concept artwork was unofficially leaked a few weeks prior to the games' release, and then the starters were confirmed when someone in Japan got the game 2 days early. Nintendo didn't release anything.
So that's why they wouldn't do it with Gen 6.

whoah. thatd be awesome if gamefreak didnt tell us the final evos for the starters and just let us find out on our own. ive always wanted to go into a generation blind without looking anything up. but i never had the balls to do it.

But, that was Japan. So they only had like 3-6 months (I really can't remember this ****) to release all of it, where as this time they have 10 months to release it all. People will (and already have) get bored if they don't release new Pokemon, especially the final starter evos.

Oh, they'll release plenty of the new mons, don't worry. I think every month or so we'll get a bit more info, then in the final month we will get a lot of hyper-increased speculation/hoaxing as well as unsanctioned leakage. (haha)

Emboar was awesome, at least for in-game purposes (what matters to me). And it is design is better than Blaziken's at least.

Never said Emboar was bad, just the fact it was a fighting type but yet it could only learn one move and needed TM's, an Tutors to learn just a small hand full(An even that wasn't a whole lot). So I said it just would have been better to make it a pure fire type.
Emboar design being better then Blaziken is your opinion. While in my opinion Blaziken is the better design

I could see Froakie being a high speed water-type.
I noticed as well that Chespin will be the first grass type that's not reptilian, however the desgin an what their based off of doesn't matter to me. Nor does it effect how it is in-game which is why you see so many people saying they don't want another fire/fighting type.
Just like all the other grass starters I'm pretty sure Chespin is going to be a tank as well.

I think this time round gamefreak are being tight with information so if they want us to see it we will if they don't we wont. I wouldn't expect information to be leaked.

Yeah, that's what I'm feeling, too.
If you think about it, last generation got really out of hand with information being leaked. GF definitely wasn't pleased with the way that all worked out, so I think they're keeping the lid on pretty well this gen.
That said, leaks always find a way to happen anyway...
